AMV in full 3D. How many of you have 3D glasses?

[ZephyrStar]

I don't mind 3D in and of itself, I just don't like the idea of it in movies/media. I think it has a far more useful application in gaming and theme park rides. Granted there are a few movies that do 3D right, but I still didn't get that much from it other than a headache. I'm an old/artfag when it comes to cinema, and the way the industry is making a moneygrab with 3D irritates me. Same way it irritated me when the industry started making overabundant use of 3DCG. That STILL irritates me. Good luck on the vid however! Personally I would like to see a non-3D version as well as the 3D version? That might be cool.

Ya know, I don't think the question should be how many of us have 3d glasses, but rather how many of us would bother to wear the stupid things for a few minute long video. Even if I had them sitting right beside me, I'd probably watch the vid without them. Only if the video was done well enough to astound me without them would I bother to put the things on.

In other words, use 3D to enhance an already good video, don't rely on 3D to make the video good.

If only Hollywood understood this sentiment.

I like 3D for full CG movies like Toy Story 3. It gets really nasty for live action. When everything has fast motion you can dump the 3D effect. I have a pair of interpolated glasses at home (because I work at a cinema which uses this method), but don't have any hardware or software to play 3D.

In other words, use 3D to enhance an already good video, don't rely on 3D to make the video good.

Games unlike films are interactive and the picture you see is computed 'on the fly'. There's no living person involved in adjusting focus so unless there will be some sort of a device (camera) tracking what part of the screen you're looking at (like in advanced military airplanes,) you will always have eyestrain from 3D in games. From my experience 'automated' 3d doesn't work well.

@ LittleAtari / ZephyrStar
There will be a 2D version of course.

@ godix
The video is scripted and made with 3D technology in mind. However, I'm not relying solely on 3D to make it good. My main goal is to create an enjoyable clip to watch, 3D is just an add-on.

Prototypes work really good. I hope they can make it work with Kinect. At least this guy is in the Kinect project:

Here's a test. On youtube, next to quality settings in the lower right corner you'll find a "3D" button, select "Red / Cyan Glasses (Full Color)" from the list.

I don't know why the hell it changed the proportions (16:9 to 4:3 picture,) also it's pretty slow on my system (Linux.) I won't use this method for the final video.

Get the fuck out of here with this gimmick bullshit

[Bauzi]

I don't get it... How does YouTube get that this is supposed to be 3D? And what did you upload to achieve it? It offered me a crapload of 3D settings O_O

If that's the case for 3D, I'm waiting for hologram projector + Wii. I'm just glad they're experimenting with 3D just so maybe later on it will lead to bigger and better things.
